1. Who Am I writing for? What are the Audiences beliefs and assumptions?
In the context of the project we are currently participating in, I am writing for an incoming class of freshman that do not understand rhetorical analysis. As well, these students struggle with understanding how arguments are made in my specific field. The audiences beliefs are very limited and we can assume they are very influential and are of needing help.
2.What Position might they take on this issue? How will I need to respond to this position?
If i am able to convey my message correctly, I should be able to get them be against outsourcing jobs. To get them to this opinion I need to be able relay the negatives of outsourcing and how the GOP wrongly supports it. I will need to keep a positive outlook on the entire situation regardless of the outcome of their opinion. Being able to be calm and collected to argue on this position is key.
3. What will they want to know?
The audience will want to know what the GOP member said on their stance on outsourcing. Along with who said what and the number of how many jobs have been taken from Americans.
4. How might they react to my argument?
It is possible that they could either react positively or negatively. It depends on their personal opinion and the way they grew up.
5. How am I trying to relate to or connect with my audience?
I am trying to relate by using personal connection by connecting the culture that we all live in. By connecting to personal experience to the mind, you are able to reach down to a personal level.
6. Are there specific words, ideas, or modes of presentation that will help me relate to them in this way?
The basic ideas needed to connect with the audience is based primarily off personal connection. Using personal experience is key to relating to the audience in any way. The mode of presentation does not affect too much of the opinion besides maybe interest. It is within best interest to keep the presentation of it very interesting.

REFLECTION:
As I looked through Isaac and Swati's analyzations, | found myself with both the same methods or lacking of some. I find it as a good learning tool to see where I can add onto for the next time. The two of them, both being in a medical field, have clear different subjects than mine but seem to go about the situation nearly the same way. I can see myself adjusting my method in reaction to the business aspect of my article compared to the medical aspect of their own articles.
I like how you are aware of how the audience can react either way, but you pointed out that culture is the way to relate to them and have them understand. Your answers sound great and will lead you to a great start! Mine does not use personal experience at all so that will be interesting to see.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Andrea that you aware the audience can be on other side. It does make sense that you want to persuade them to believe your side of the argument tho. Having personal experience should help strenghten your argument but you should be careful not to sound bias and state to much of your own opinion. Otherwise I think you are on a great track to success.
ReplyDeleteYour answers are pretty similar to my answers. It sounds like you are already convinced of one side of the argument but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. I think it may be hard to sway some people, especially since your article deals with politics. I wish you the best of luck!
